Ertugrul Ghazi shot to popularity in Pakistan after the state-owned television  aired the Urdu dubbed version of the much-hyped show on Prime Minister Imran Khan's request.

The historical series is based on the life of Muslim warrior Ertugrul Ghaz who was a warrior whose strength, belief, loyalty and strong spiritual belief always helped him move forward with one aim: to defeat the enemies and establish peace and brotherhood all over, by inculcating belief in law and justice.

 The main object to air Dirilis: Ertugrul in Pakistan was to help boost Islamic culture and values among young people in the country.
